William Joelle Francht
Gallery East
hosts Nancy Fairchild, who uses vibrant oils to create her abstract
female figures. McEntee's high contrast, black and white
photographs, showing in Gallery West, illuminate her figures from above in a storyland of three dimensions. Francht, in Gallery Centre, works with acrylics, ink, and other media to "suggest," rather than fully define her figures. In the Outdoor Sculpture Gallery, Keeling's contemporary approach to figurative metal sculpture is revealed.
12 12 Gallery, South Richmond's
Fine Art Gallery, is located at 12 East 12th Street, in the John B
Anderson House, just east of Hull Street. Gallery Summer hours are Thursdays
and Fridays 12-4, Saturdays 11-6, and by appointment. Closed Sunday-Wednesday.

Chef owner Ellie Basch has been in Richmond food scene since 2002 with her
catering company Everyday Gourmet. Her cuisines are often described as
"light, fresh and flavorful", thanks to her aptitude in using herbs

With its bright, airy and mod design in an industrial setting, several

Manchester's urban landscape certainly would transport our customers to lower
